Verdict?

I got everything I wanted + bonus gloves, book, and pocket watch.

 

[Zaarin]

I think it looks nice, but I'm a fan of Art Deco. I hope we can get some fanciful Art Nouveau wonders somewhere.

I think you need to scour the image for possible unique quarters or improvements in case this is the unique improvement (unlikely)

its so massive tho, while I wish it were the case, I don't see how two buildings could fit onto it; also I don't think there are any duplicate-looking power stations in Britain or the world...

I will miss my clock tower, but please do not threaten the beautiful map with Battersea Power Station spam.

It’s not the first monument that comes to mind when thinking of the British Empire—maybe not even in the top 10 or top 20. A strange choice for a wonder. Big Ben was an obvious choice, but it wasn’t the only iconic option for the British. But this Power Station is bland and uninspired.

In whatever Age that follows Modern, this wonder creates +5 gentrification points per turn.

Oh god. Gentrification as a victory condition where you are competing to attract hipsters. Please let's not meme gentrification into existence.

We already have this in the game. It’s called “overbuilding”

Yeah, well I was into the academy before they overbuilt it...

And Modern Architecture wonders as well. I'd love to see some Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Louis Kahn or Niemayer buildings as wonders at some point. I guess the recent death of those architects and copyrights might sadly prevent that from happening at the moment.

(In Civ6 we had Canada's Biosphere by Buckminster Fuller, though)

That'd be very sad

Where are this DLC pictures of Ada Lovelace and the British coming from?

 

[Zaarin]

I'd love to see some Frank Lloyd Wright

This would make my year. But all of his work is copyrighted, and I believe his estate is very strict.

Today’s official stream - they showed multiplayer with final victory (well, tried to) and revealed the contents of Crossroads of the World. Ada and Britain had some sneak peek footage.

I love it .

I’m a big fan of London and this building is one of my favourites.
I’m glad they didn’t choose Big Ben
